        Hmm, so it's not loaded. What do you have set in Sys > Adv > Misc for crypto hardware?

            Hmm, OK try this:

            cat /boot/loader.conf
            

            You should see see the loader line that cause aes-ni to be loaded at boot.

            You can also try manually loading it:

            kldload aesni.ko

              Shell Output - cat /boot/loader.conf
              autoboot_delay="3"
              net.link.ifqmaxlen="128"

              Shell Output - kldload aesni.ko
              kldload: can't load aesni.ko: No such file or directory

              maybe its some thing to do with dells bios or not supported.

                Hmm try the full path:

                kldload /boot/kernel/aesni.ko
                

                You are running 2.5.2 or 2.6 I assume?

                  @stephenw10 Hello im running 2.6 i tried kldload /boot/kernel/aesni.ko and got this kldload: can't load /boot/kernel/aesni.ko: No such file or directory.
                  should i do a reinstall to see if it fixes the issue ?

                      Nice.
                      Weird, it looks like somehow that file really wasn't present. I have no idea how that could be possible though.
